The Clock Was Set.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

He was a darkey who wanted an alarm
o'clock This was his mission when he en-
tered Hart's jewelry store. After getting in
there he informed the accommodating clerk
of the nature of his visit and that individual
hastened to wait on him. He wished the
clock set so as to spring the alarm at $3.50 a.
m, as that was the hour at which he had to
get up, as he worked in restaurant that re-
quired early service. He was particular as
to the time he wanted it to go off, for he was
going to the theater to spend the earlier part
of the evening and was anxious not to over
sleep himself the next morning. Tom Rog-
ers, the clerk, jocose fellow on such occa-
sions, at once saw the opportunity to have
some fun at the dark purchasers expense
and took advantage of the same. He set
the alarm accurately to go off at $50 p. m,
put the clock in box, received the
price and handed over the parcel The
buyer put the timepiece into his overcoat
pocket, loitered around unconscious of any
impending racket until it time to go to
the play. Then he entered, and in company
with his best girl took seat in the gallery.
He soon became absorbed in the fate of the
hero on the stage and had no thought of his
overcoat, that he laid on the chair next to
him. Everything was perfectly quiet. Sud
denly there was resounding clatter in the
pocket of that big ,at. Such going around
and buzzing interrupted the gallery proceed
ings The shock aroused him from his rev.
cries and his seat at the same instant. With
frantic clutch he grabbed the coat, clapped
his hat over the instrument of noise, Valnly
endeavoring to still it's din.
The colored ladylby his side shrieked out in
wild alright. A Senegambian philosopher
in his rear gravely explained to the startled
persons around him that the man had de-
veloped into battery of electricity, and to
move away from him or they might get
struck. This caused commotion. While
this was going on the clatter ceased with as
little warning as it had begun. Silence was
restored, all save the audible smiles that cir
cled round the gallery. AS soon as the pur-
chaser had recovered from his surprise he
took in the situation, appreciated the joke
and afterward detailed his experiences to

GRADE CROSSINGS.


Some recent shocking accidents have sharp
ly called attention to the ''grads crossings,
of the railroads of this State. For several
years there has been a growing conviction
that they must go. Last winter a bill to
change them was introduced in the legisla-
ture, passed by the house and defeated in the
senate. bill much like that which failed
last winter has just been introduced in the
house. 1t requires that from two to i've per
cent. of the grade crossings on every road in
the State shall be changed each year. If
railroad company has declared no dividend
for the year Immediately preceding the order
of the commissioners to remove crossing at
grade, the expense of the change shall be
equally borne by the road and the town, city
or borough in which the crossing is situated.
If a road has paid five per cent. dividend it
must pay three-ffths of the cost; if it has
paid five and not over eight per cent. divi-
dend it must bear seven tenths of the ex-
pense; and if its dividends are over eight
per cent it must pay four -fifths of the cost.
There is no division of opinion as to the
necessity of abolishing the grade crossings.
The railroad companies agree with the public
in this matter. But how best to do it is a
difficult question. Something will probably
be done at this session, unless the small
towns feel that it is for their fnanci inter-
est to defeat any plan which requires them
to share the expense of changing the cross
ings. The people of New York have had
mueh the experience in dealing with
this matter that Connecticut has. The board
of railroad commissioners of that State calls
attention to the loss of life that has occurred
at grade crossings, and says: Were it law
that as rule railroads should pass over or
under highways, and only be permitted to
cross at grade by a special order of court,
these constantly recurring casualties would
be greatly reduced, if not entirely done away
with. The board has recommended to three
successive legislatures an amendment of the
present law requiring newly constructed rail
roads to observe such rule. The bill has
failed in every case Action is frequently
taken under the statute to protect grade
crossings. Notwithstanding its existence,
however, the board receives more complaints
from this than any other one cause
The legislature of this State should take
proper and reasonable action this winter, ac-
ton that is fair both to the towns and to the
railroads. 1t is better that little, or much,
money should be spent than that people
should continue to be killed or wounded at
the dangerous grade crossings.

fire is in this way produced in woodwork it

Babcock extinguisher, which will only inten-

The Rev. DIR. Robert G. Hutchins of Ober-
lin in talk resently before the Congrega-
tional club of Cleveland said some things
that are worth attention. He intimated that
the charitable work the churches were advo-
eating and practising was doing harm instead
of good by keeping in existence poverty,
disease and crime which is the result of the
inexorable law of heredity and which it
would be for the general benefit to let die
out. The tendency of the position taken was
that the law of "the survival of the fittest'
is a fact, and it is questionable whether its
course ought to be interfered with. In con-
clusion DR.. Hutchins said: ''To secure the
highest advantages of the world for heredity
ministers must acknowledge that they cannot
save the race alone, but must welcome the
cooperation of the scientists, psychologists
and philanthropists. We must regard Chris
tianity not only as instrument of prepara-
ton for the future world, but also as power
for the improvement of this. We must trust
largely the reeuperating powers of nature and
be patient. do not look for any sudden or
miraculous elevation of the race by heredity.

dence of man, may we'll spend ages more in
